Please be kind, respectful and courteous when sending emails to our teachers. They are working 12-14 hour days and doing their very best to bring instruction to our families. Mrs. Hoke, Principal
Welcome Back from the PTA
2020 will be a school year like no other with lots of new challenges for our students, teachers, administrators and us parents/guardians. The Penny Road PTA is getting ready to assist our school within the new learning environment we find ourselves this fall. This year communication between the school and families will be more frequent than before and, of course, all electronic. With that in mind the PTA will be limiting how often we send out the Panda Pulse Newsletter. We will be sending a newsletter when we have important information to share. So if you don’t see a post for a few weeks don’t worry, and if we do send one please have a look.
Game on, Panda Strong
